They have opposite charges. A cation has a positive (+) charge; an anion has a negative (-) charge.
Yes. Anions are negative ions and cations are positive ions.
The ions are b, anions and cations. Note that xenon is not an ion, it is a noble gas.
Yes, anions have a larger radius compared to cations.
No, anions and cations do not share electrons during ionic bonding. In ionic bonding, cations lose electrons to anions, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond based on electrostatic attraction between the positively and negatively charged ions.
The term "ion" can be used to refer to both anions and cations.
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
In general, cations are smaller than anions in terms of size.
No, cations have a positive charge and have lost electrons. Anions have a negative charge and have gained electrons. In an ionic compound anions and cations attract each other due to opposite charges.
A solubility chart or a table of standard reduction potentials can be used to determine which cations or anions will replace others in a chemical reaction depending on their reactivity and solubility properties.
Cations and anions compse ionic chemical compounds.
cations, positively charged ions, can be told from anions, negatively charged ions, bysize--cations are smaller then the average atomic mass of the element --anions are largertype--cations are made from metals --anions are non-metalsorder--cations are always listed first in a chemical equation
